Comment 5 for bug 347444

I'm experiencing the same symptoms. Pidgin blocks completly when it's asking notify-osd to show a message (making epiphany-browser block most of the time too). Luckily, it doesn't happen all the time, but it happens enough to be very annoying. Still, i don't have a way to reproduce it.

Examples of hanging applications are certainly pidgin and epiphany, and I think liferea hung once too. Most of the time, they hang because pidgin wants to show a notification (while just scrolling a webpage in epiphany).

I'm using jaunty with the latest updates and experienced this problem since i upgraded.
